Mireille Blanc: La Sommation des Images Catalogue from FRAC Auvergne
FRAC Auvergne published a catalogue for Mireille Blanc's exhibition 'La Sommation des Images,' held from June 30 to September 23, 2018. The 160-page book features color reproductions and a text by Jean-Charles Vergne. Blanc's painting practice focuses on the reproduction of photographic images from family albums and archives, often depicting the photographic object itself—prints taped to walls or placed on tables—with visible borders and tape, blurring the line between painting and photography.
